[ICE]

I remember the day that a representative from a private university came to the B/S office. He stated that the university has purchased an apartment building that will be used to house students. He wanted to know if the building would be required to be retrofitted with fire sprinklers.

I said no. I also said that as a parent, I would expect that my child enjoy the same level of safety that on campus dormitories provide. So he asked again if the the code would force sprinklers. I said that the apartment building would skate under the rules. That really p1ssed him off.

He said things that a Christian university representative shouldn't have said. From that day forward, he treated me like I was :devil

ICE:

I'm confused. He was ticked off because he would not be required to sprinkler the apartments? They own the apartments--they can do pretty much anything they want, including adding sprinklers.

The only situation that I can think of that would draw that reaction would be that the bean counters at the university wouldn't pay for a sprinkler system and he (probably the housing administrator) was trying to find a reason to force the university to install sprinklers.

I would have directed him to speak to their insurance company and see what they thought about the risk of no sprinklers in a university-owned student apartments.

Visit the Center for Campus Fire Safety and click the "news" button on the header. The early arriving dorm RA's are getting fire safety training.

Who is getting training at an off campus apartment building? Scroll back into news of the last academic year and see how often fires occur.

I believe this issue is that ICE stated that they could "skate" under the law which is essentially calling them on their own **** by acknowledging that they won't be doing the right thing and they were only interested in whether or not they were being forced to do it.
